We want to inform you of upcoming changes to your NorthernTel mobility pay-per-use and out of bundle text messaging rates.

Effective August 1^st, 2011, the rates for text messaging will increase as follows:

1. Sent and received text messages (including messages sent to the U.S) will increase from $0.15/message to $0.20/message;
2. Text messages received from an application (for example, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will start being treated as standard received text messages and charged at the rate of $0.20/message or deducted from a text messaging bundle; and
3. Text messages sent from Canada to international destinations will increase from $0.25/message to $0.35/message.
   

Please note that these increases will only impact users that send and receive text messages and do not have a text messaging bundle or have exceeded the allotted text messages in their bundle. 

You can save on text messaging costs by signing up for a text messaging bundle. NorthernTel offers messaging bundles
starting from $7/month. If you have any questions, or for more information please visit a NorthernTel authorized dealer or
contact us at 1-800-360-8555.
